Love and Interest

Daily, I think to myself, "How did get to Japan?"

I know how I got here, by plane, of course, but really, what made me get on that Fifteen hour plane ride?  It all started the first time I touched a baseball from there the love of the game started and has never diminshed, but it takes more than love for a Texan to leave everything familiar behind.  In my case, it was extreme love of the sport and a lot of interest in Japan.  My interest in Japan began about three years ago, when my mother, a Reserch Nurse in Houston, Texas, invited a Doctor from Japan to eat at our home, hence my interest begins.  From there, Texas Christian University, my school put everything else where it needed to be.  In need of an Honors credit, I had to decide between Western Civilization or Asian Civilization, and since I had just met a Doctor from Japan (who spoiled our family with gifts), I thought that the Asian Civilizations course would be much more interesting.  Then in my next semester, in order to graduate, I needed a Foriegn Language credit, and so continuing the trend that I had already started, I took up Japanese.  Aided by luck, I landed an internship in the Special Events department of my hometown team, the Houston Astros.  Between the Presidency of my Fraternity and the internship I did not stop moving.  Then the internship of my dreams came to an end, but with the help, friendship, and interest of the Astros, I was put in contact with Major League Baseball Japan, and my dream continued.
